New regulations in the Forest allows us to go for the Screech Owl up to one hour after sunset. Starting in 2015, this alternative will be offered during Winter time. Starting time will depend on the time the Sun shuts down. In order to guarantee this unique opportunity to see our little owl, you must reserve at least working 48 hours before selected date. If you want to see the glow-in-the-dark mushroom, please book the night hike.

The Puerto Rican Nightjar is one of our endangered species. Although we have several sites to look for it, depending the time of the year and the number of participants, we only go to one site per night and stay not longer than 45 minutes. As we will like for our customers to see the bird, this species is "far more often heard than seen" (Oberle, 2006).

During the Summer, you will have the opportunity to listen to the bird while seeing and hearing the Antillean Nighthawk.
